Pearman only got one year as coach.  They've just extended this guy.  8 wins from 18 games was a fail.  Won't get any where near that percentage this year.

Probably until they go to another club.

I still think the extension was more about a perception of stability for the players than anything else... 
If the next two weeks pan out as we expect, and Pay is in charge come rnd 17, I'll start asking questions of the Boards capacity despite the fact I think they've for the most part pulled the right reins... Another really tough decision coming up for them after all they had to do last year... 

Perhaps announce Walters as coach after SOO 3???...

That's the best explanation. In fact, the only one. Dropping Ofa to outside the bench...a joke that messes with his head when he gives 100% more than most of those bludging forwards.

Pay is not only clueless but becoming a serious menace to the club's credibility.

DD.... only a few weeks back, Jayden O was made to look like an absolute idiot thanks to Holland’s horrendous defending.... Holland got dropped. 

Yesterday, Crichton was left posted numerous times by that imbecile Montoya.... and Crichton gets dropped. 


Work that one out....

DWZ.displaying plenty of class in tomorrow's SMH article re not talking about any issues at Penrith... Not talking out of school like several other current and former Dogs players have...
Cant post link for some reason sorry...

Strange and worrying times.

I got one for ya tho....Pay picks Nu Brown Game 9 against Knights. Now there must of been some need, tactic or gameplan to.pick him? Pay puts him on for 9 minutes.

JMK 71 mins 2 runs 22 mtr, 33 tackles 5 misses.

BROWN 9 mins 2 runs 17 mtr, 8 tackles 0 misses.

Gives him 9 minutes then drops him the next week. How can you access players whilst coaching on whims like that.

Done similar to others. Crazy stuff.

Brought the madness...

Interesting selections on the dogs team
Named vs the roosters @ the scg
d w z @ centre with hopa 
montoya to wing criten to the reggies
ogden no 19 ext bench
harirea nirea on the bench
elliett still @ lock

also reading souths dan gagi is very 
unhappy @ souths as he classes him
as a centre & wants out 

He also played 3rd Grade after a couple of first grade games...I think Roger failed in the Captain Coach department...remember these old days when you used to be able to get the players autographs when they come off the field...I have Roger's somewhere

How Phil Gould helped deliver Watene-Zelezniak to the Bulldogs

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/how-phil-gould-helped-deliver-watene-zelezniak-to-the-bulldogs-20190611-p51wnz.html

Be nice  2 even enquire about
dan gagi  , big story he wants to play
centre , arnt the dogs short 1 centre
dwz isnt a centre  

Depends if Gould and Flanno want him haha.

He is when the alternate is Marcelo Montoya

Don't give him any ideas DWZ...

"(Coach) Dean (Pay) knows I’ll play anywhere just to play - if he wants me in the front row, I'll play front row."

I finally watched the first 20 mins of the St Merge game, Napa and JMK very good in the first 20, I have been critical of both players previously, but they stepped up and did everything I wanted, now I just want that every week. 
We did create some good half chances in the first 20, we probably lost the game by not taking them, if we score we also have more possession, and the Dragons are great front runners, they are not so good at handling scoreboard pressure.   
It was a bad pass, a dropped ball, or simply the wrong guy getting the ball, simple errors but they cost us.
Crichton was also probably most responsible for the first 2 St Merge tries,even though the first one was 5 on 3, we need to make the opposition work harder for their tries.  
The 3rd place we ls lost the game was not having a bench utility, it is a big gamble not having one with the HIA rules, Pay gambled and lost, JMK can do a good job for 80 mins, but when Cogger went off we became a bit of a shambles in attack and defence, if we had Lewis on the bench it might have been different.
We need to improve all 3 areas, but the first 20 mins for JMK and Napa was good, I hope they produce more of the same most weeks. 

I've got Marki down for front row ... 

You are correct in that you need a bench utility that can cover the backs. 4 forwards is not needed in our team. We barely run a sweat by waiting for the attack. No reason you should need to rotate 4 forwards.

Only if your other half can step up and lead the ship can you afford to have 4 forwards. Foran clearly not up to it. So Pay should learn from this. 

Disappointing thing is that a nuffie like me can spot this BEFORE it happens while our "coach" needs to experience it before he realizes.

Lewis is out for a few weeks, but he is the ideal bench utility IMO, can cover halves, hooker and centre, we can throw him on at lock....
It is Brown or Lichaa for the next few weeks, Brown good in reserve grade, I don't trust his defence, and he .doesn't have high involvement, but some of his passing and running are good.
I'm even happy if Brown sits on the bench for 80 mins for the next 2 games... 
.

It wouldn't be a Marki post if he didn't get a barb in somewhere...Foran is up to it but can't do it on his own.  

Seems there's a chance of that happening.... at The Titans.

Foran's been playing excellent. As best as can be expected of him,

What Marki doesn't realise or fails to see is it's hard to do all the things he wants of him when he's the most marked man on the field. In fact in any weekend he'd be close to the most marked man in The NRL.

Because every opposition knows - he's all we got to create anything.

His guru Copper Cronk said  essentially that in the post game wrap on Fox on Monday night and in the process told us exactly what The Roosters are gonna do this weekend. So listen to the guru Marki.

He knows, he knows! - You keep telling us that

Even more so when Cogger goes off with HIA....

The best way to improve our attack, is provide options which don't involve Foran....

Foran is even taking the forward's runs up the middle showing them how to do it.

Marki is the latest 3 letter contributor we had RFM, JMK, DWZ... now we have confirmed NFI...

FBI, CIA, KGB all coming .... Slinky & Putin spotted in Belmore Cafe...

Surely we have to get RCG.

What about  josh reynolds the westigers have him
for sale in there fire sale but @ $950,000
a season no takers id take him back @$350,000
as long as there tigers suberdice the rest

I would offer $100K, at that price he is handy.... would play 14 off the bench .. when injury free so 3 games per year...
